Did you know that lions actually eat lettuce? During Chinese New Year, lion dancers visit various stores and businesses to compete for lettuce that is hung up in front of the building. In Chinese, the word for ‘lettuce’ is phonetically similar to ‘wealth’. The hope is that the lions will bring good luck to the businesses.
Celebrate the New Year with the Philadelphia Suns on Sunday, February 18th! Get some dim sum and watch lions and dragons dance through the streets of Chinatown. Make sure you get a good spot during the parade, by checking the schedule below:
